Previously on Cultivation System: Stronger with Age...
Worry etched on his face, the elder of the Qilin clan spoke,
This Silver Thread Sword Tribulation doesn’t gauge the Tribulation Crosser’s Immortal Yuan sufficiency, nor does it assess their Divine Soul’s fortitude, but instead, it scrutinizes the strength of the Tribulation Crosser’s treasures and the might of their defensive Immortal Techniques!
It is regrettable that the numerous Great Accomplishment Bodhisattvas from Spirit Platform Buddhism predominantly employ Buddhist Techniques to imbue ordinary items with a special Buddha Nature, yielding various mystical effects. However, most of these effects are not strongly inclined towards defense or attack! Furthermore, Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique has already expended close to half of her Buddha Body to manifest two Golden Shields... Can her Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique truly withstand this impending Silver Thread Sword Tribulation?
Upon uttering these words, the elder clan leader of the Qilin race repeatedly shook his head, his gaze conveying a level of concern far surpassing that observed when Great Accomplishment Jade Bright Bodhisattva faced the Netherworld Water Tribulation!
Supreme Immortal Master Guang Yu’er, upon hearing this assessment, couldn't help but knit her brows deeply. After a moment of contemplation, she turned to Lin Xuankong, stating, "Xuankong, since this Celestial Tribulation specifically tests the resilience of the Tribulation Crosser’s treasures, Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva’s ability to overcome this round of the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation might hinge upon your assistance! However, as the elder clan leader mentioned, the three Mightiest Immortal Lords who faced the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation eons ago only narrowly succeeded by leveraging several Seventh-Grade High-Grade Immortal Artifacts... This presents a significant predicament! I question whether your Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifacts will prove sufficient to aid Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva in surmounting this tribulation!"
Lin Xuankong, who had initially felt a considerable degree of apprehension regarding the threat posed by the myriad points of silver thread light preceding the Silver Thread Celestial Tribulation,
found a great weight lifted from his heart after absorbing the Qilin elder’s explanation!
If those three eminent Immortal Lords of antiquity could traverse the Silver Thread Celestial Tribulation with mere handfuls of Seventh-Grade Immortal Artifacts, then offering Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva an Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact should pose no issue. Should one Eighth-Grade artifact prove insufficient, perhaps two would suffice. If two were still inadequate, then three, four, or even five Eighth-Grade artifacts could be deployed, considering my ample supply...
With these thoughts, all traces of worry vanished from Lin Xuankong’s countenance. He even adopted a relaxed demeanor, turning to Supreme Immortal Master Guang Yu’er with a playfully nonchalant tone: "All of my Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts have already been utilized to form the Luo Water Array. Where would I possibly procure sufficient Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts to aid Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, unless I were to dismantle the Luo Water Array that safeguards numerous junior talents? But in doing so, would I not be plunging these hundreds of thousands of lives from diverse sects and clans into grave danger?"
"This..."
Guang Yu’er was momentarily taken aback by his statement.
After a brief hesitation, she removed the Immortal Artifact from her waist, her brow furrowed. "Regardless of the circumstances, we must absolutely assist Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva and cannot merely stand by as she encounters difficulties during her tribulation crossing. If all else fails, let us pool all the remaining Immortal Artifacts from myself, the Qilin clan elder, and yourself, and present them to Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva. Whether these Immortal Artifacts prove adequate is a matter of giving our utmost and entrusting the rest to celestial destiny!"
The Qilin elder nodded in agreement. Opening his massive Qilin maw, he promptly expelled several streams of light – these were, naturally, the few Immortal Artifacts that Lin Xuankong had previously gifted to the Qilin clan!
Witnessing their earnest intent, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. "There is no need for haste. Let us simply observe for now. It is possible that Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva may directly repel the onslaught of the countless Silver Thread Tribulations with her Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique! Furthermore, should Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva find herself in genuine peril, I shall certainly intervene to provide aid. As for the two of you, Guang Yu’er and the Qilin clan elder, there is no necessity to offer your Immortal Artifacts to Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva. Rest assured!"
Both the Qilin elder clan leader and Supreme Immortal Master Guang Yu’er regarded Lin Xuankong with a sense of bewilderment upon hearing his words,
Guang Yu’er’s gaze fell upon Lin Xuankong’s smiling countenance, her brow furrowing. “What time is it? The Great Accomplishment Jade Bright Bodhisattva faces the imminent Silver Thread Sword Tribulation, yet you still manage a smile? That’s the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation! Have you forgotten what the elder clan leader said? Only a handful of Seventh-Grade Immortal Artifacts might barely provide a chance to withstand this Silver Thread Celestial Tribulation!”
Lin Xuankong merely offered a slight shake of his head, remaining silent, and turned his attention towards the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva.
The Qilin clan elder recalled Lin Xuankong’s earlier confident assertion that the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva could overcome the Netherworld Water Tribulation. A thoughtful silence descended upon him before he eventually looked towards Supreme Immortal Master Guang Yu’er. “Immortal Lord Guang,” he began, “perhaps Immortal Lin possesses a plan, just as he implied. Furthermore, even if we were to offer our few low-grade Immortal Artifacts to the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva, they would likely prove insufficient. It might be best to observe Immortal Lin’s approach first…”
Upon hearing this, Supreme Immortal Master Guang Yu’er’s frown deepened. She observed Lin Xuankong, noting the unperturbed expression on his face, devoid of any hint of panic. A wave of uncertainty washed over her. This Xuankong of hers consistently surprised her, whether in the cultivation of immortal techniques, confronting the demons of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, refining immortal artifacts, or devising formations and responding to various crises. He had an uncanny ability to turn the tide. Could it be that he truly had devised a plan this time?
Yet, faced with the Silver Thread Sword Tribulation, if it were as formidable as the Qilin elder clan leader described, would Xuankong truly possess a method to safeguard the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva from its wrath?
While Supreme Immortal Master Guang Yu’er was lost in contemplation, the sky suddenly erupted in brilliant light. Her complexion tightened as she looked outward, her eyes narrowing involuntarily. Above both the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva and the Celestial Eye Demon Lord, hundreds of silver points of light materialized, piercing through the tribulation clouds and hurtling towards them with astonishing velocity!
The speed rivaled that of a First-Grade Immortal Artifact unleashed by a powerhouse at the Strongest Immortal Lord level. The power contained within was no less than the full activation of a favored Immortal Technique by such an expert!
But the dire reality was this:
There were hundreds of these silver light points!
This signified that, at this very moment, it was akin to hundreds of Strongest Immortal Lord-level powerhouses activating their First-Grade Immortal Artifacts simultaneously, or unleashing potent Immortal Techniques as a unified assault upon the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva and the Celestial Eye Demon Lord!
Though under ordinary circumstances, conflicts between powerhouses of the Strongest Immortal Lord level might span several days with continuous assaults, those battles typically involved sequential execution of Immortal Techniques. Never before had such a coordinated offensive, with hundreds of the strongest Immortal Lords focusing their might in concert, been witnessed!
With hundreds of peers striking as one, escaping unscathed presented a genuine formidable challenge!
As Guang Yu’er’s thoughts raced, those hundreds of descending silver light points had already reached the vicinity of the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva and the Celestial Eye Demon Lord!
The Celestial Eye Demon Lord had evidently heard whispers of this terrifying Silver Thread Sword Tribulation.
Therefore, despite its palpable frustration and mounting panic, and with an expression etched with bitterness, it appeared to have made some preparations. As the silver light points drew near, its demonic qi suddenly surged with wild intensity. From the colossal single eye adorning its forehead, an immense beam of crimson light erupted without hesitation, engulfing all hundreds of the approaching silver light points!
Meanwhile, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva once more began reciting majestic and righteous Buddhist scriptures.
The two golden shields, emblazoned with Buddhist phenomena, positioned themselves above her head, forming a barrier between the descending silver light points and her Buddha Body!
Naturally, the Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva was aware of this Celestial Tribulation. She did not dare to take lightly the hundreds of silver light points, each carrying immense power. As her two golden shields intercepted the onslaught of silver light, her body radiated myriad rays of Buddha’s Light, constructing a Great Brightness Defense Barrier before her. While this Great Brightness Barrier did not possess the same renown as the Golden Body Demon Suppression Technique, it stood as an exceptionally potent defensive Buddhist Technique within Spirit Platform Buddhism!
